72 Three Down Six to Go

A few days had passed, and other than spending time with his wives he mostly stayed cooped up in his drawing room. Thousands of Fūin Marking written in elaborate and complex patterns covered the spacious office room. Kibo was sitting on a chair drooling asleep with a pen in his hand. Karin had woken up early and made some food and coffee for him when she saw his appearance after entered the room, Karin placed down the tray and couldn't help but kiss Kibo's cheek.

Kibo being woken up by the fresh smell of Coffee Kibo smiled as he pulled Karin into his embrace and planted a deep kiss on her, Karin didn't fight back and even competed with him leaving a Karin breathless as they parted their lips, "I said no naughty stuff until Mom knows you're marrying me."

Kibo bit her lip a little and said, "Your words don't match your actions."

Karin now noticed that her arms were wrapped around his neck, and she was sitting on his lap. Karin in a desperate attempt to calm herself down turned around and leaned back into his chest while looking over his thesis. "Still working on the same issue?" Karin asked.

"It's the last bit of that I have to finish. However, the same power consumption problem occurs when trying to create a stable liquid form of natural energy. It's missing something."

Karin was looking over the material and Kibo was slowly drinking his coffee while feeding her every once and a while when Karin said "Your right, we are missing something. Maybe we could draw more power from fused elements and add them to the Array's specs." When she said this Kibo shook, he placed down his mug and picked Karin up and laid her across the paperwork making a mess. "I could ravage you right here and now, my little genius."

Karin's nose bled a little as she said "Yes please."

Kibo moved his lips up to her neck and gave her a hickey, "But as you said, I should inform mother in law that we're getting married first. So you'll just have to settle for this." Kibo passionately made out with Karin for a good thirty minutes, when he finished she was left in a dazed blush, "Can we please go tell mother now?" Karin asked wrapping her legs around Kibo's waist, and her arms around his neck.

Kibo smiled and sat her down gently in his bedroom, "I wanna make the event a big one, and I also want you to show up strong enough to kick down any Kage who so much as looks your way. After I alter the Array you can begin training to achieve sage form, and after that, you can train to open up your first gate." Kibo saw Shion walk in and lie down next to them, "I'll be able to help you achieve this while Kibo is out gathering the stray Jinchūriki." Karin's cheeks puffed up "Fine!"

Kibo stayed with them and talked for a bit as he made a Clone to take care of the Array. He placed a new wood energy gathering Array between his earth and water section, and then place a magnetic Array between the lightning and metal array. Next was the Scorch array between the fire and wind turning making the lava in the extinct volcano's temperature rise rapidly. The Genryu inhabiting it made roars of joy as the natural energy and Chakra being gathered and made Skyrocketed.

The first set of Array alteration started with Nurturing Elements; 6 pools of water began forming at a prebuilt temple, a pool of natural energy for earth and water was contained by the wood, the natural energy for fire and wind was kept inside a burning vortex of flame-colored liquid that represents Scorch. Lighting and Metal formed into a chaotic space that caused small chunks of land and metal to float, at the center of it was an invisible force melding the two elements alongside each other.

The second was the element's fusions of Yin and Yang; Fire and Water became Crystal; Metal and Earth became black steel(Carbon), Wind and Lightning became Cloud energy.

Next was opposites; Wind and Water became Ice. Fire, and Metal became Slag. Earth and Lightning became Geo Magnetic Lightning otherwise known as Positive and Negative Lightning.

Noticing the Array was growing too powerful he knew he needed to add two more sections to the outline, outside the Array's range he laid down two triple fusion sealing markings. One witch fused Earth, Metal, and Water which became Land, and next he fused Wind Fire and Lighting to make Sky. After he sat these down, the Array stabilized and hummed with more power than ever before.

The new Arrays he named the 3-2s and the 2-3s Element Array. Not very inventive but to the point, there were now several new Sage Training sights set up throughout his village where one could train without worrying about contaminated Natural Energy.

Kibo looked over the training grounds and smiled, as a thick pool of energy became visible to the naked eye, he decided to make some clones to learn the different Sage modes. Of course, this was just to a point, because he had abandoned his wood sage mode, or rather absorbed into his earth Dao Seedling, and in its place was a Life Sage mode that rapidly increased his healing rate.

Earth had 3 factors to it Wood, Dirt, and Stone.

Water embodied Steam, Liquid, and Ice.

Wind embodied Air, Vacuum, and Gravity.

Fire embodied Heat, Combustion, and Explosion

Lightning embodied Electricity, Plasma, and Magnetism

Metal embodied Form, Flexibility, and Durability.

Each of these Seedlings could have their growth accelerated by gaining and nurturing the 6 primary elements sage forms, right now he had mastered Earth, and Water. Now he would take his time mastering the rest.

Kibo then swapped locations with a clone he had stationed watching over the only remaining missing Nin Jinchūriki Utakata. As he appeared he saw a tall, thin young man with pale golden eyes and brown hair that reaches to his shoulders.

His hair parted to the side and a portion of his bangs cover the left side of his face. He wore a long, light blue kimono adorned with a small emblem of three bubbles on the back, and a pair of grey pants underneath, with an orange sash wrapped around his waist. The kimono hung loose, exposing his chest. In it, he carried a bamboo jug filled with a soap solution and a pipe.

Next to him was a beautiful girl that was pestering him to teach her a new Jutsu, Kibo recognized her as Hotaru. She had fair skin, dark-green eyes, and long wavy blonde hair reaching down to her back, with a small widow's peak around her bangs. Hotaru wears a violet-colored kimono top with white trimmings tied by a black obi, black shorts with a shuriken holster underneath a slitted black skirt with red trimmings, violet arm warmers, and black Shinobi boots. She is rather short and looked even shorter standing next to the 5.9 feet tall Utakata.

The betrayal of his master had occurred quite a long time ago, and after it happened, Kibo made sure to kill the ones manipulating their actions behind the scene. They convinced his master there was a way to remove a Bijuu from the host without killing them, however, his master instead of disagreeing to their plan saw his chance to steal the Bijuu from his own student.

Without caring for his student Utakata, his master convinced him to go through with the ritual even while knowing it would kill him, and as a result was killed by Saiken out of fear because he didn't wish for Utakata to die.

These two, unlike most other Host, got along with each other, and Utakata in the original timeline was the first to learn of their Bijuu's name. Kibo thought it was time to reveal himself and offer a place for the wayward Jinchūriki when he stepped out of the shadow's Utakata grabbed Hotaru and placed her behind him, while raising his bubble blower to his lips.

"Who are you?" Utakata shouted.

Kibo placed his hands up and said, "I mean you no harm, Utakata, Hotaru, and Saiken." Utakata tensed up as he was getting ready to run; when Kibo sighed before saying, "Why do I always have to use force with you Jinchūriki." Kibo waved his hand and drew them inside Seiryu's realm. When they saw the massive and strange landscape their mouths dropped.

Kibo then smiled as he waved to a caged Saiken, Hotaru and Utakata were too stunned to even speak when Kibo coughing broke the silence, "Welcome to my partner's realm." Kibo raised his arm as Seiryu took on his real form, making even Saiken's jaw drop. "As you can see I have a special friend too." Kibo followed up making Seiryu laugh.

Kibo then held out his hand and said, "My name is Kibo Hoshi the Fumetsukage." (Immortal Shadow!)

Hotaru and Utakata looked confused when Kibo said "It's a new village that's sworn neutrality against the remaining nations, you can call it the first Immortal Village since the fall." Kibo then went on to give the spectators a history lesson, after a few hours of explaining he looked to Utakata and said, "Which brings us to why I sought you out right now. Two of the Jinchūriki have taken up residence with me already, I plan to go around gathering the rest and supervising over you to make sure Black Zetsu can't kidnap you. You can also feel free to leave once you achieve the Immortal Realm.

Utakata knew that the situation was bad, and he looked over to Saiken and asked, "If I remove the seal, will we still be connected?"

Saiken said, "I already accepted you as my host a long time ago, I have always been waiting for you to return my trust." Utakata felt bad as he removed the seal from the giant slug tailed beast. When like the other two a Chakra mode was now accessible, a light blue aura appeared around him with small bubbles moving through the Chakra outfit in a unique pattern. Hotaru thought he looked exceptionally handsome in his Chakra mode as she had a blushed face the entire time he was in it. Utakata was thrown back by how much stronger he got from just removing the seal. He looked to Kibo and bowed, Hotaru did as well making him laugh. Sending him back to the village with Hotaru and a Clone Kibo headed to his next destination.

Takigakure's Takikage Shibuki was more reasonable than other leading nations, so he decided to head there first; if Kibo could give Fu a safe place to live at where no one would mistreat her then he wouldn't hesitate to make that choice.

As he approached the waterfall he noticed that the Water Natural energy was very thick here and that the tree growing in the center of their village wasn't an ordinary tree, but a tree planted where one of the roots of the God tree was that fell many ages ago. Thanks to the massive source of Chakra and Life energy the tree Mutated to become what it is today. "This must be how Hero water is produced." Kibo thought of the mysterious Chakra booster that was only produced once every hundred years.

Kibo walked up to the Kage's mansion and was stopped by the guards, he laughed as he used a simple swift release to appear in front of their leader.

Shibuki had ink black eyes and long dark brown hair that was tied off into a ponytail by a bandage. He also wears a forehead protector that symbolized his Shinobi status. Shibuki wore a light yellow kimono jacket and light grey pants with a red scarf around his neck and a turquoise haori. He looked over in surprise at the intruder and picked up his Kunai to defend himself. Kibo waved his hand and forced the young Kage back into his seat.

"Hello my name is Kibo Hoshi, and I've come to take your Jinchūriki."
